36Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don't be afraid; just believe.”

37He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.38When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.39He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”40But they laughed at him.
After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.41He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” ).42Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
